FOSS4G 2024 Workshop

Diving into pygeoapi
12-03, 09:00–13:00 (America/Belem), Room Guajará (C Block)

pygeoapi is an OGC Reference Implementation supporting numerous OGC API specifications. This workshop will cover publishing geospatial data to the Web using pygeoapi in support of the suite of OGC API standards.


pygeoapi is an OGC Reference Implementation supporting numerous OGC API specifications. Lightweight, easy to deploy and cloud-ready, pygeoapi's architecture facilitates publishing datasets and processes from multiple data sources to the Web. This tutorial will cover publishing geospatial data to the Web, and using the API from QGIS, OWSLib and a web browser. The workshop will cover the following OGC API standards:

  • OGC API - Features
  • OGC API - Coverages (OACov)
  • OGC API - Maps (OAMaps)
  • OGC API - Tiles (OATiles)
  • OGC API - Processes (OAProc)
  • OGC API - Records (OARec)
  • OGC API - Environmental Data Retrieval (EDR)
  • SpatioTemporal Asset Catalog (STAC)

Requirements for the Attendees

Please consult the workshop documentation at https://dive.pygeoapi.io, and ensure you are setup accordingly (https://dive.pygeoapi.io/setup) prior to attending the workshop.

A Gitter channel exists at https://gitter.im/geopython/diving-into-pygeoapi for discussion and live support from the developers of the workshop.

As the installation of all dependencies on all platforms (Windows, Mac, Linux) can be quite involved and complex, this workshop provides all components within a Docker Image.

The core requirement is to have Docker and Docker Compose installed on the system. Once you have Docker and Docker Compose installed you will be able to install the workshop without any other dependencies.

Tom Kralidis is with the Meteorological Service of Canada and longtime contributor to FOSS4G. He contributes to numerous projects in the Geopython ecosystem.

Tom is the co-chair of the OGC API - Records Standards Working Group, chair of the WMO Expert Team on Metadata, and serves on the OSGeo Board of Directors.

I’m a GIS developer and data analyst. I’m passionate about open source, data visualization and knowledge sharing. I love when technologies break down barriers.
In my career, I explored domains like e-government, fintech, GIS, and e-learning.
I’m a freelancer, and I work with Byte Road and Geobeyond.
In the past, I contributed mostly to GeoNetwork, but recently I widened my interest to more projects. I’m interested in the evolution of OGC API standards and how they can improve our dear projects.

Joana is a software engineer with more than fifteen years experience and a strong expertise in the field of geospatial tech and analytics.
After acquiring a PhD in GIS, at UCL, her drive to solve real-world problems has led her to SMEs, an international organisation, a research foundation and a start-up. Joana has been very involved with FOSS, in particular in what concerns geospatial. This has led her to become a charter member of OSGeo. Joana is the founder of ByteRoad, a SME in the field of data engineering and geospatial analytics. She is also a reviewer for the European Commission, and has been involved in education, teaching the next generation of full-stack developers and data analysts. As Developer Relations at OGC, Joana is responsible for connecting the OGC standards with the wider developer community, hopefully increasing their adoption and contributing towards making them more developer-friendly.
